A Refresher: Our Four Beliefs

ResearchThe scientific evidence for what could be.

We believe research in Industrial-Organizational psychology provides the support for decisions that will positively impact both an employee’s motivation and an organization’s success.

CharacterThe imprint of past experiences and relationships.

We believe character often suffers at the expense of organizational goals, personal results, and organizational effectiveness. We need leaders who are aware, humble, compassionate, and willing to take responsibility for their shortcomings.

PracticeThe integration of what you know and who you are.

We believe that we’re responsible for training students to know how to get the job done in the real world through the combination of evidence-based theory and applicable strategies for change.

YouThe instrument of change.

We believe that you have the power to impact the organizations you serve, whether as a consultant, an employee, or a leader.

You are the unknown variable. And by committing to this learning community, you will one day change the world of work.
